In order to get my reviews more attention, I will be succumbing to popular trends and write a "theme" review. You know, when one person writes it, but then pretends it's two people, and then everyone stabs themselves in the eyes to keep from reading further? Well, I want a piece of that thematic pie. So here is a review, written by a wacky pair indeed: Me (Hawkboy), and Frank(age 47) a drunk guy I found in an alley.

Hawkboy: Remember that skit in "Monty Python's Meaning of Life" with the involuntary organ donation? Now, imagine that 5-minute skit stretched out to 90 minutes. Tom Green has a good sense of the absurd, and there are moments in "Freddy Got Fingered" that have the same off-the-wall/out-of-nowhere brilliance that Python had (the last 10 minutes in particular) but there really isn't the depth behind it that made Python so lasting. Once you get over the incredulity of what Green is doing, there's really nothing else there. You laugh in amazement, but then it fades.

Frank: Where are my pants? Fucking government.

Hawkboy: The plot: Gord (Green) tortures his parents and generally acts stupid for 90 minutes. That's it. If you like Tom Green's show, you'll probably enjoy his movie. I've never really watched his show (I don't get MTV), but I found his personality rather annoying at times. I mean, the movie (directed, written, produced, and edited by Green) makes no effort to portray Green as any type of individual character. He's playing himself. He tortures his family, and for the same reason that people are supposed to enjoy it on TV (something I've never understood), and we're supposed to like him because he's Tom Green and he's very popular. The film does make one or two efforts to portray Gord as a human being with feelings, but then he goes and masturbates a horse. The moment's kinda lost.

Frank: Blarrrr targ afff bah. Tap dance kid.

Hawkboy: The rest of the cast members do their best, but Jesus, they've got nothing to work with. Rip Torn shows his ass and generally spends all the goodwill built up from his fine work on "Larry Sanders". Julie Hagerty uses all her leftover lines from "What about Bob?". Harland Williams is non-existant, and Marisa Coughlin (playing Green's love interest) is used in an attempt to make Green seem human. It doesn't really work. She is, however, very good at making the "blow-job" gesture. Kudos for that.

Frank: (snoring) I love you, Gary.

Hawkboy: So, as stated earlier, if you like Tom Green's stuff, you'll like this. It's his show, and it'll live or die based on your enjoyment of the dumb shit he does. I'm recommending it, however, to anyone who participates in social functions; there really are some things in this movie that defy description, and telling your friends about them will make you the hit of any party. Or funeral.

Frank: (dies)

Hawkboy: Frank? Frank? Oh shit.

I think Tom Green is a very intelligent person who knows his target market and is selling towards that market. Unfortunately, they were carding outside the movie theatre, so most of his target market couldn't see it. It'll be a big hit on video.
